VETERAN'S ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD COLLECT MILITARY UNIFORMS TO DONATE FOR VETERAN BURIALS...
Every week hundreds of veterans pass away to 'Post Everlasting'. The majority of these veterans are not buried in military uniform, nor wearing a set of their military medals or ribbons even though archeological discoveries for centuries from around the world have shown that the remains of military burials from the most ancient periods of human history are found with the metallic (medallion) portions of their military medals completely intact and preserved.
Every local VFW, American Legion, VVA and other vet organizations should create a storeroom on their Post to collect used military uniforms to donate for veteran burials who pass away to 'Post Everlasting.
Any veteran organization member with time on their hands, a computer to solicit donated uniforms, and a telephone to keep them in contact with local mortuaries and cemeteries should make their Post a local Class 'A' uniform provider, free of charge, for military burials without regard to race, ethnicity, religious background or Service Branch. Families and communities will greatly appreciate your service to those who served.
